HP 6125G HP 6125G & 6125G/XG Blade Switches Layer 3 - IP Routing Comma - Page 331

Parameters group-name: Name of a peer group, a string of 1 to 47 characters. ipv6-address: IPv6 address of a peer. cipher: Sets a ciphertext password. simple: Sets a plaintext password. password: Sets the password. This argument is case sensitive. It must be a ciphertext string of 1 to 137 characters, or a plaintext string of 1 to 80 characters. Description Use peer password to configure BGP to perform MD5 authentication when a TCP connection is being established with a peer/peer group. Use undo peer password to restore the default. By default, no MD5 authentication is performed for TCP connection establishment. The MD5 authentication requires that the two parties have the same authentication mode and password to establish TCP connection; otherwise, the TCP connection cannot be established due to authentication failure. The authentication password, set in either plain text or cipher text, is saved to the configuration file in cipher text. Examples # Enable MD5 authentication for establishing TCP connection between the local device (1:2::3:3) and peer device (1:2::3:4), and configure the authentication password as aabbcc. • On the local device: system-view [Sysname] bgp 3 [Sysname-bgp] ipv6-family [Sysname-bgp-af-ipv6] peer 1:2::3:4 password cipher aabbcc • On the peer device: system-view [Sysname] bgp 4 [Sysname-bgp] ipv6-family [Sysname-bgp-af-ipv6] peer 1:2::3:3 password cipher aabbcc peer preferred-value (IPv6 address family view) Syntax peer { ipv6-group-name | ipv6-address } preferred-value value View undo peer { ipv6-group-name | ipv6-address } preferred-value IPv6 address family view Default level 2: System level 320
